DOWN TO BUSINESS: Hundreds of students from a variety of business courses graduated today
Tuesday, 08 April 2014
In 1998 Prof Cosmas Ambe visited the University of Witwatersrand to make enquiries about a Master’s programme and ended up leaving with a job as a junior accounting lecturer.
Ambe recounted his remarkable journey to success while addressing the third Autumn Graduation ceremony earlier this morning in Cape Town.
The respected academic is the Nedbank Chair of Accounting and Director of the School of Accountancy at the University of Limpopo.
Hundreds of graduates across a variety of Business courses heard his inspirational story as he encouraged them to use the same courage, drive and resilience to rise above their situations and succeed.

Ambe also commended CPUT in the huge investment they were making into the countries development by producing thousands of quality graduates each year.
“Congratulations on being winners and I encourage all of you to go out there and be the change agents of the National Development Plan,” he says.
This evening the faculties of Education, Informatics and Design as well as Health and Wellness Sciences will be hosting their graduation ceremonies at the Bellville Campus.
